Ashleigh Banfield shared her opinion about the ransom notes in the Nancy Guthrie case. She believes at least the first ones received are from the suspect.
Nancy, mother of Today Show co-host Savannah Guthrie, was allegedly kidnapped on February 1. Although a suspect appeared on her Ring camera, the kidnapper remains at large.

On her Drop Dead Serious podcast, Ashleigh said, “I’ve learned something from TMZ that I did not know before. So, let’s be really clear because it’s getting confusing about all of the different letters. The headline here is the original letters that came to TMZ and local TV stations in Tucson. There were two letters. They threatened to kill Nancy Guthrie. We had not heard [about that information] until now.”
She added that the FBI thinks the “original letters” were authentic.
On Monday, April 6, TMZ received two new ransom notes, according to reports. “I know where her body is and who the kidnapper is. Give me half a bitcoin, and I’ll tell you,” one note said, indicating Nancy is deceased.
“It’s unbelievable that millions have been wasted and yet here I am willing to deliver them on a silver platter since the 11th of February for a Bitcoin but I am disregarded as a scam,” said the first recent letter. “They are free and the case is frozen but the ego’s remain hot when it comes to me.”
That note’s sender said they’ve been living outside the U.S. for more than five years and had no involvement in the kidnapping. For information on Nancy, they demanded half a Bitcoin up front, with the remaining paid following the suspect’s arrest.
A second note said, “I saw her alive with them in the state of Sonora, Mexico,” and money was not the only motivation for the new notes. “I just want what’s fair and to live peacefully with enough to start my life again quietly with out having to join a witness protection program.”
Authorities are investigating the recent ransom notes, and the case is ongoing.
